Drug & supplement interaction

Stone Root + Flibanserin

Flibanserin brand name: Addyi.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Stone Root and Flibanserin in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Stone Root and Flibanserin

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Flibanserin and Stone Root in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Stone Root at all — not against Flibanserin, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Stone Root and Flibanserin May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Flibanserin page

About Stone Root

What is Stone Root?

Stone Root
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Urinary and bladder discomfort
  • Digestive upset
  • Sore throat and hoarseness
  • Kidney stones (traditional)

Stone root is a North American herb traditionally used for hemorrhoids, urinary complaints, and digestive issues. There is very little modern scientific evidence to confirm it works for any of these uses, so it should be viewed as a traditional remedy rather than a proven treatment. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or take other medicines.

Collinsonia canadensis · Lamiaceae · Root and rhizome · Tincture, capsules, dried root for tea, liquid extract

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Stone Root is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Stone Root record says about it on its own.

Stone Root: dosing

There is no established standard dose for stone root. Traditional preparations include teas made from the dried root and alcohol-based tinctures, but reliable dosing guidelines from clinical studies do not exist.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them.
